New York Rangers rookie forward Brett Howden has not scored a goal since November 12 against the Vancouver Canucks. Howden also has just one assist in his last 16 games. Clearly, the 20 year-old center’s production has hit a wall.
At the end of November, Howden was fifth among all rookies in scoring with 13 points in his first 25 games — only two of which were earned on the power play. The 11 5v5 points he had through November 30 placed him third among all rookies, behind Elias Pettersson (13) and Colin White (12).
